Nerve of an Elephant Hunter.

The coolest thing ever saw done in elephant shooting was one day myself and friend were sitting in the bunga- low, when coolie rushed in and in- formed us that there was an elephant in the coffee. The only "battery" we had in the bungalow, which was mere- ly a wooden shanty run up for tempor- ary shelter at the new clearing, was an old percussion shotgun, used chiefly for firing sparrow hail'' at the legs of natives caught coffee stealing at night, and the only bullets we had, if may be pardoned the bull" were small shot with few swan shot mixed. There was, however, bullet mould which fitted the gun, so We set to work and cast some rough bullets, as we were determined to have a shot at the elephant even if it was with pistol. Our next proceeding was to toss up who should have the shot, and it fell to any friend J.
 When we went out it was found that the elephant was not in the coffee, but on q strip of ''patna,' or grass, along side of it. J. accordingly went down to the tournament. while I stood at q safe distance 10 cheer on the knight When J. got on the ''patna, he saw that the brute he was going against

description, as he began to trumpet very loud, This is the first thing a 'roque" does. suppose he thinks he will put the fear of death in the hunter. The next part of the show is for Jumbo to charge right down on you, still trumpeting and waving his trunk until he comes within about twenty yards, when down goes the trunk, and at the same time, he lowers his head This is the time to fire, and the only place you havc any chance of bringing him down by hitting is small oval space just above the trunk. This is vital spot, and if you hit this it is sure death to the elephant. J. was an old hunter, so he calmly awaited Mir. Jumbo's approach. Just at the right moment up went his gun to his shoulder, and 1 awaited brcathleSsly to see the flash and behold the roque fall. But no flash came, and presently l saw J. running backward facing the elephant, and evidently fcel- ing in his pocket for something. The explanation was now easy, the internal percussion cap had missed fire! Luck fly he had another, and in moment, just as the elephant was upon him, 1 saw his gun again go up. There was flash, then a report, and down tumbled the huge beast just at J. s feet; in fact, so close was he that he had to jump aside to prevent the body falling on him. There are few men l know of, and have met few men of nerve in my time, that would have the coolness to run backward in face of charging alpphaOt rpnoyn tha old can and faol in his pocket for new one, and then kill his quarry. know of nothing more inclined to make one run the first time of trying than to wait on an ele- phant which is charging, but a better spirit comes over you and you shoot without tremor.- 4Ane1IcdN Yield.
